“We extend our warmest congratulations to all involved with Hester on this remarkable achievement. ”
Lucy, Hester’s owner is delighted as it is very rare for a warmblood to become such a top class eventer, demonstrated last weekend at Scone Palace International horse trials, where Hester was only one of 4 horses who finished clear and inside the time at a 4* – and two of the others were the Double Olympian London 52 (ridden by Laura Collett again) and the recent winner of Luhmuhlen, Izilot DHI ridden by Ros Canter. So she is in good company!
